Hi All,

I know that this site is primarily a North American focused one. However, I know that we have among us some well travelled coaster enthusiasts. I am heading to Japan in the spring or summer and will only be spending 2/3 days in Tokyo. I am hoping to hit some Tokyo area theme parks. From my preliminary research there are at least 10 parks in the Tokyo/Yokohama area, which is far too many to visit in a couple of days. Does anyone have any ideas which ones are the cream of the Tokyo crop for thrills, coasters, and unique experiences?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well I have never been to parks outside the US, but have read plenty about them in magazines and internet articles. Definitely get to LaQua (Intamin hyper coaster & impulse coaster) and Yomiuriland (mega coaster) as they have the best coaster collections in the area. I've also read quite a bit about Toshimaen, but their coasters aren't as good as others in the area. Also, I have heard good things about the Galaxy Express 999 at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel.

Tokyo disneyland is without a doubt, a must see. The theming is supposed to be absolutely fantastic.
